Description

“I think the title used in the states was ‘Thirteen at Dinner’”

Marvelous ALS signed “Agatha Christie Mallowan,” one page both sides, 5.5 x 7, personal letterhead, April 6, [1960]. Letter to Samuel Tupper, in part: “The book you mentioned was published under the title—‘Lord Edgeware [sic] Dies’—It has also been done by Penguin in a cheap edition not very long ago—I think the title used in the States was ‘Thirteen at Dinner.’ Thank you for your kind appreciation of my books.” In fine condition, with minimal creasing to top edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in her own hand. Published in 1933, Lord Edgware Dies was one of eight Christie novels featuring the detective tandem of Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot and his loyal friend Captain Arthur Hastings. The novel’s American title—Thirteen at Dinner—was one of many alternates used internationally. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
